My blog

Обо мне

I am an international lawyer with a passion for good, simple but well-prepared food. In my food blog Memorie di Angelina, inspired by my grandmother's wonderful home cooking, I draw on my Italian heritage, my international life experience in New York, Rio, Paris, Vienna and, above all, ten wonderful years in Rome. I now live in Washington, DC.

Besides the Italian food of my own cultural background, I also enjoy French and Chinese cuisine. I am an inveterate dim sum maven, can't get enough noodle soup and dream about a hearty cassoulet on a cold winter's eve. But let me not forget my passion for great sushi and fondness for real Mexican food.

I author a food blog called Memorie di Angelina, inspired by the wonderful home cooking of my Italian grandmother. I also administer a Facebook recipe exchange club called Gnocchi ai funghi.

Looking forward to enjoying this vibrant community of professional and home chefs!

I have followed you now for over a year, and of all the claimed Italian cooks, I felt compelled to share that your recipes for genuine Italian cuisine and exceptional. I can say this since I am Italian on both sides of my family, and grew up with a similar (slightly more aged) family heritage--cook, eat and have fun with affection. The ladder of course is the best ingredient.

Sorry, I forgot to add that Amos suggested that I ask you if you had any VERY simple recipes that would be suitable for my site. Would you please share to get my site up and running? I don't think there is another site here dedicated to disabled cooks. Think of yourself suddenly in a wheelchair. What would you serve? You would have reduced endurance, reduced arm strength and mobility problems. I put a link to one of my Blogs on Post Polio Syndrome about cooking from a wheelchair on "Tips and Helpful Hints"......

Frank, in my fantasy I live in Umbria, and in fact will be there in less than 2 months. I have no actual Italian blood but i married a 1/2 Siciliano and in my heart I am an Italian girl. Ask anyone who knows me.

Hey, Frank - I just put up a 'salty' response to your comment on the Tips page. I signed on to Memorie di Angelina yesterday, so I guess that makes me the 10,001th subscriber! I hope we can share much in the time to come. Best regards - Amos

Hey, Amos! Thanks for stopping by. And thanks a whole lot for subscribing to Memorie di Angelina looking forward to exchanging recipes and all that! I plan to do the salt test today as I have both kosher and sea salt in the house.

(And by the way, thanks for reminding me to update my status. It was really out of date; the blog now has over 17,500 followers! But I won't post about it until I get to 20,000...)

My name is Mary Gordon. I am 36, single, take care of my mom, and going to college studying computer animation. I also have diabetes and asthma. Do you have and recipe ideas for me that I could leave for her while I am gone and to take with me while I am at school.

Mary, Wow, that's a lot of responsibility on your shoulders! Anyway, if your Mom can do some simple cooking tasks like reheating or popping something in the oven, then your task becomes a lot easier. Any sort of soups and stews can be reheated--in fact, they're much better made ahead. And you can also make gratineed dishes up to the point they go into the oven, and she can pop they in the oven just before she wants to eat. As for recipes, take a gander of some of mine. I think you'll find that most of them (except for the pastas) would be fine made ahead.

Not too many, Brooke. I'm no expert about how this site works, to be honest. But in my opinion the best way to enjoy this site is through the various groups that have been formed. This way you get alerts about new recipes and can share yours, too, more easily. Other than that, not much to say... it's a fun site, not nearly as commercial as most of the others, and so more enjoyable IMHO.
